This machine is able to emulate a surgeon’s hands in the patient while he’s not really inside. This is our Intuitive DaVinci surgical device. It is used for robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery. In a nutshell, it’s supposed to be a method of actually having your surgeon seeing 3D images inside the body instead of it being something just 2D on a television screen. Patient care pretty much coincides with troop readiness. Not only do our active duty doctors get the opportunity to use the machine and train on it, but it allows them to treat our retirees and active duty personnel in need of medical care to reduced time and it gives them an in-depth better view of the anatomy so they can better treat and do the surgeries. This kind of technology is growing in popularity among the military sector and the civilian side, as well. You have to know how to use one. If not then you’re going to get left behind.
